To walk around with an ego is a bad thing. To have confidence in yourself is a great thing.

Enthusiasm is the mother of effort, and without it nothing great was ever achieved.

Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.

Suffering becomes beautiful when anyone bears great calamities with cheerfulness, not through insensibility but through greatness of mind.

If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.

Character, in great and little things, means carrying through what you feel able to do.

Silence is one of the great arts of conversation.

People respond when you tell them there is a great future in front of you, you can leave your past behind.

Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.

Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for.
